Sorry, but I’m not going to further the information spread of a doxxing, if you have interest in doing so there’s plenty of available avenues to do so. Then what exactly is Musk supposed to fear from someone knowing his plane’s location? I think you’re misinterpreting, that’s where the disconnect is. No one here has ever said that what Musk alleges that guy did was smart or made sense. The problems people have with it is the reaction of Musk to dox the guy, the fact there’s no evidence to back up his claim and his peculiar actions taken that don’t exactly portray the alleged incident was what he said it was.

It would be nice if he cared so much for children that he wouldn’t on numerous occasions attack transgender people, of which one of his children is. Almost as if he’s another rich elite narcissist who says one thing and does something different in his actions. Like his being upset over doxxing yet doing it back. Like his saying he loves all his children yet attacking the gender identity of one of his own. Like saying the people have spoken after voting yes in a poll to reinstating the insurrectionist in chief yet still not having reinstated the journalists he banned despite the people voting to do so. Like saying he’s an independent thinker yet posting Q-anon conspiracy crap. Need I go on? He sounds great if you only listen to what he says. However it’s what a person does that matters most. There’s a whole lot of people out there hoping or counting on you to take them at their word and not expect any consistency in actions to prove what they said is true.

Yes a license plate is enough information to find out who owns it and where they live. I just searched “license plate search website USA” and there was dozens of websites that do exactly that. I’m surprised you didn’t do a quick search yourself, it was very easy. If someone knows where you live then it’s a far greater danger then knowing where a plane flies. Taking down or damaging a plane would take a lot of planning and time to coordinate. Unless you think the average Joe has easy access to missiles. Attacking someone, their car or house is very easy to do. I really don’t understand why you believe a plane’s location to be dangerous information and don’t believe knowing where a person’s home is after angering some crazy people isn’t significantly more dangerous. Maybe you misread what I wrote, but I didn’t defend the incident. I clearly stated “if this is true the guy was wrong to do so and he’s an idiot”. However there’s a few problems I have. 1) Posting a license plate number is a far greater risk to someone’s personal safety. 2) Actually attacking a plane is difficult, attacking a car or person isn’t when they know where you live. 3) There was no police report filed, which is odd if Elon was scared for his child’s safety. 4) He has camera footage right now that he could post to easily verify his claim, gain him support and sympathy and fend off critics, yet he hasn’t. Isn’t that strange? 5) You’re assuming what he said happened actually happened exactly as he said it did. 6) He’s already been proven to lie on numerous occasions and once someone does lie, that breaks my trust in anything they ever say being accurate, so trusting what he says is true is a leap of faith I’m not willing to take without any corroborating evidence. 7) Two wrongs don’t make a right. That’s something your parents probably taught you at a very young age. If that guy did do that to Elon’s child that’s no excuse to do another bad thing in retaliation by doxxing a guy. As for the flight, no, what got him upset about the plane tracker in the first place was when some Twitter users pointed out the accurate information that he flew 12 separate times to Epstein the pedophile’s island, which isn’t covered by PIA if he has it.

You have no idea how glad I am that John and John are back. The Calgary game was awful to listen to as was the hockey panel. Bring back Juice!

If we get Pettersson re-signed long term for under 10 I’ll consider that a bargain bordering on a steal. Especially if the cap does go up significantly. In 2-3 years that contract might be looking pretty damn cheap for what other guys would be getting and we’d still have 5 or so more years of him being locked up. I hope management can get that done, it would really be beneficial for the Canucks future.

You questioned someone who said Musk doesn’t care about all his family, did you not? I posted evidence that yes, it’s true he doesn’t care about all his family. Does family safety not also include having your child feel safe when they’re with their parents? Or does it only count if other people allegedly make your child feel unsafe? See, you’re coming at this from the point of believing what Musk says happened. We have no proof of that. No police were called or report was filed (the police actually had to reach out to him first after learning about this incident on social media). For such a traumatic incident he claims happened one would think the father would immediately file a police complaint in the interest of preventing that supposed awful act against his child from happening again right? There’s also the easily accessible cameras in all teslas where he can post the footage to verify the claims of what he said happened. Yet he hasn’t posted a very concrete way to verify his story. If that was what actually happened then yes the person that was following the car, blocked it from moving and jumping on the hood of the car was an idiot and it shouldn’t have happened. There’s differing levels of danger/intimidation though. Did the person just do that or did they do something more serious like issuing threats or carrying a weapon? Did they immediately stop once finding out Musk wasn’t in the car or did they continue scaring the child? One thing that is certain is he posted the license plate of a car publicly. He doxxed a person. Given the extremism/crazy of many people in the US does that person who owns the car now face a greater danger? Like death threats or damaging their vehicle/home or phone calls and stalking to intimidate them? Which is the worse act to do? Does that person deserve all of what the internet psychos will be giving to them for daring to cross someone they revere? Or are they the bigger victim here? Ok, so let’s assume his plane is eligible and has a PIA requested, granted and verified. I looked up the page for it to understand the details. It’s not absolute. In fact, the flights Musk has been complaining about are exempted from the PIA. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy Where can I fly using the PIA? This program is intended for flights that start, terminate, and transit only within the territorial airspace of the United States (the airspace above the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and U.S. territorial waters). A few examples are: A flight from NYC to LA is allowed. A flight from Miami to Houston, over the Gulf of Mexico, is not allowed. A flight from LA to Hawaii is not allowed, but a flight within a Hawaiian island (e.g. Honolulu to Kailua) is allowed. A flight from NYC to London is not allowed. When using a PIA, flight operations are only permitted outside U.S. territorial airspace when temporarily directed by ATC, such as, but not limited to, vectoring to avoid weather, or while on departures/approaches from coastal airports.

Of course he did.

A small miracle no one was hurt badly or killed. At least so far, here’s hoping that continues to be the case. That much water and glass with someone standing in front of it would likely be deadly. They’re lucky it happened at a quiet time of day instead of when it’s packed with guests checking in and out.

Actually you were talking about how psychotic it was to post flight tracking information for Elon’s plane. I wanted to correct that misconception. You also posted about the doxxing in the same post, which if you noticed is why I highlighted what I was responding to, to make it clear. Obviously I failed at doing so. On the doxxing issue he bans people on Twitter for posting information about his flights and uses the reasoning that it’s potentially dangerous for someone to know where he is. Fine, it’s his company he can run it how he wants. At the same time though he publicly posts to tens of millions of followers the license plate of someone. We only have his side of the story, we don’t know what actually happened. How many times has someone blown something out of proportion or exaggerated to gain sympathy/support? It could have happened as he described it, or maybe it didn’t. What we do know is if we believe his reasoning for banning those accounts on Twitter that he thinks it’s ok for other people to face danger if they cross him for whatever reason and not ok for himself to face that danger he just inflicted on someone else. That’s hypocritical at best.

You have to be a pretty terrible father to attack/criticize transgender people while also having a transgender child. There’s a reason that child wants a name change. So no, he doesn’t care about all his children. I thought that was common knowledge. Vivian did end up getting a name change granted by the courts. Musk's child who is petitioning for a separation from him is the daughter of Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson. According to multiple reports, their new name will be Vivian Jenna Wilson. They wrote in their application for the name change that the reason is under the grounds of "Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form." https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-transgender-comments-resurface-child-changes-gender-1717486?amp=1

I think you might be unaware or misinformed of the laws in the US regarding this topic. Here’s the facts. All flight plans and statuses of both public and private aircraft are public information, even for high government official flights like Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan that was never announced and was found out via flight tracking apps/websites. This is the norm and not an exception for tracking anyone’s flight anywhere. Everyone has access to this information. The only aircraft not subject to this law is the military and Air Force One for obvious reasons. It’s not psychotic, it’s public information for any person to access supported by law in the US. It’s not technically available in a specific database for flight tracking, but anyone can piece together the information to allow anyone to track any flight anywhere. It’s possible because of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B). It's like global positioning system technology, or GPS, but on steroids. Every three seconds, ADS-B equipment on a plane sends out real-time data about not just the aircraft's location, but also its altitude and velocity and other critical elements of its journey. It was mandated for all aircraft, both private and public by the Federal Aviation Association in 2014 after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared from radar carrying 239 passengers and crew members over the Andaman Sea off the Malay Peninsula, culminating in the most expensive airplane search effort in modern history. That plane, nor the passengers were ever found. Before that there would often be long stretches where planes practically disappeared from radar while traveling across oceans. The FAA was given the power to regulate all civilian aircraft safety via the 1958 law called the Federal Aviation Act that handed complete control of civilian aircraft safety from the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the newly created independent organization the FAA. They have sole discretion to regulate all civilian aircraft in the US. This issue has also been the subject of numerous lawsuits over the years with anyone from drug dealers to celebrities to government officials arguing against this information being accessible by the public. All of the lawsuits filed with both conservative and liberal courts have had the judges rule in favour of having this information available for public access. So not only is it supported by law, but it’s also been deliberated and supported by the US judicial court system. We can have endless debates on whether it’s a good idea, but not on whether it’s weird, out of the norm, malicious or unlawful.

Oh also has there been anything new on Kikuchi since the end of the season? Is he still a starter and on the team? He kind of just imploded after he got his first big league contract.

Well that’s exactly my point. The amount of time it would take to accurately assess every persons unique health problems and determine their cause of death isn’t worth doing. There’s limited hours and dollars. I think most would agree we want those spent on saving the lives of the still living. During times of crisis priorities must be determined and followed. That’s the sole objective: what actions can be taken to save as many people as possible. Reporting also takes man hours, lots of them. Do we want them to spend time reporting on who is and isn’t vaccinated or do we want them to spend time on actually trying to help fight the disease? Again this isn’t normal, this is a first in a century that we are living through right now. If everything was pre-COVID the rules and norms would be followed, but we just can’t afford to do that right now. I did hear something very exciting that may end the disease for good though, from a research study in mice. To dumb it down so to speak, the COVID virus needs to have its spike protein to stick to the human receptor in a cell called ACE2 . That’s how it attacks the body. Once attached the spike protein breaks apart into 2 pieces losing the part that can attach to another receptor. Researchers have created a fake ACE2 that they tested, which tricks the virus into attaching to it, leaving the actual animal cells unharmed and replicates the process of the actual disease, making it lose the part that can attach to another cell. Unlike the antibodies and vaccines currently being used against COVID this trial showed the ACE2 decoy was extremely effective against every single strain of COVID. No efficacy was lost like it had with omicron and such, in fact it gained potency. Clinical human trials are up next, but if this can be replicated then it doesn’t matter how many mutations the disease does, without the ability to attach to the actual human ACE2 receptor COVID has no way to attack the body and we can permanently end the disease. Here’s the full article and study for those interested. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abq6527

There’s nothing silly about a disease taking lives and causing families and friends pain. It has real effects on real people.

Good for you and kudos @Elias Pettersson in accepting and admitting the reality of what’s happening with Musk on Twitter. I know that’s a really hard thing to do, especially given how much time and effort you spent defending him before. Most people would dig in further and never admit fault. Being able to change your mind with new information or a good argument that makes you rethink things is a very good and necessary skill to have which is getting rarer in society, especially so for those of us online able to hide behind anonymity. Anyways I hope you know that criticism in one area of disagreement doesn’t mean disagreement for everything a person says or does anywhere. I don’t think (or at least I’d hope) that everyone critical of you would hold that against you on other subjects or view you as an enemy because of a disagreement, because I certainly don’t.

That’s unfortunately impossible for many reasons. Every person is different, their health problems are unique. There’s no actual keeping track of cases anymore. It’s not possible to do autopsies on every person who dies to find a cause of death because they’re expensive and mostly need to be reserved for any criminal acts or suspicious deaths. Cause of death itself is tricky to determine. If someone had heart problems and got a blocked valve which they died from is it the heart problems or COVID that caused them to die? Debatable. Would they have died without catching COVID? Debatable. Then there’s those who don’t know they have COVID and die. Not every body is tested for the disease. Or those coroners who lie and say someone died from the flu in order to comfort their living family members. That’s just some of the difficulties in documenting COVID, there are many more. This topic is exclusively in a grey area. So instead of spending the thousands of hours and millions of dollars it would take into figuring out exactly how each person died, if someone gets COVID and dies afterwards they tend to just categorize it as a COVID death. That money and man hours instead goes towards helping the living. We will never ever get a completely accurate number. There’s no real answer to accurately track deaths from a disease effecting different people different ways who have different health issues.

Yup, a narcissistic rich man who can’t handle anyone criticizing him. Now where have I seen that before? It’s truly sad that the only people who will face consequences from his stupidity will be the working men and women trying to just afford a normal life. I really feel for them getting the short end of the stick as the non-wealthy often get.

It will happen sooner then later since his time right now is exclusively focused on being a keyboard warrior.

That’s the smartest thing he could do, so he definitely won’t do it.

Elias will defend Musk to the death. He can do no wrong in his eyes.

Hudson and Rex I had no interest in watching yet another crime drama. The genre is extremely worn out, kind of like how superheroes are these days in movies. However, I saw the show was Canadian and filmed in Canada so I decided to support our local industry and watch an episode one day. Pretty much been hooked ever since. It’s mostly fluff, but it’s entertaining fluff. Most episodes you aren’t able to guess the perpetrator until the final clue/reveal. The characters are endearing. The plot twists keep you guessing. It does a good job to not fall into stereotypes and instead shows the wide variety of people that can commit a crime for various reasons, just like it is in real life. It has enough variance of crimes from kidnapping, prison break, bomb threat, actual bomb, fake crime, stabbing, gun shot, poison, drowning, allergic reaction, cold case, car accident, accident, overdose, gang, manhunt etc. to keep it mostly fresh over each episode. It also tries to tackle some of the real life problems in life and policing too, which creates a positive influence in the real world. Did I mention the dog? 7 or 8 out of 10 depending on the episode. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s entertaining and local. You could definitely do worse then watching it.

Musk is reminding me more and more every day of Trump. Thin skin, bans those who are critical, wants to piss off the libs constantly, spreads conspiracy theories, is only for free speech if it supports him and convinces a bunch of gullible idiots to defend him from any slight criticism. Do as I say, not as I do: the new kingmaker of Twitter.

His CDC defenders will be silent on this, no doubt.

Yup. The 3rd and 4th placing World Cup teams were in our group. Canada really ended up with a terrible draw. What are the odds that out of 8 different groups with 4 teams in each that our group would have not 1, but 2 of the top 4 placing teams in the world? Just bad luck, the odds were not in our favour.
